Madam Otiko Djaba is reported to have described the former president as wicked, evil and someone with a heart of the devil prior to the 2016 elections.

The National Vice Chairperson of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Anita De Sosoo has described the unsavory comments by the Minister-designate for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisa Djaba on former President John Mahama as unfortunate.

According to her, comments by Otiko were not the best but she refused to apologise when she appeared before the Appointments Committee in Parliament.

Anita De Sosoo speaking on the issue apologised on behalf of Otiko Afisa Djaba.

In an interview on Accra FM, she said "If you are wrong and several people are calling on you to apologise, out of respect you should do that, but I was very sad with the posture of Otiko Djaba during her vetting.

"Those comments she made about former president Mahama, that he was an embarrassment to Ghanaians and so on, were below the belt, which she should have apologised for," she added.

"I am standing on my sister’s behalf to apologise to all Ghanaians. If you want to be a leader, you don’t lord over anybody; you need to be submissive to all persons."

Otiko Djaba during her vetting at Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Monday, 30 January refused to apologise to former President John Mahama for her unsavory comments during the 2016 campaign.
